A Courageous woman, a woman of worth

you were one of God's best treasures

brought to this Earth.

A heart always to bless now your body's at rest.

Now your spirit is in Heaven where there is no leaven.

Just the pure Bread of Heaven, Jesus Himself

the desire of your heart no longer kept on a shelf

For that which was seemingly denied many a time

a desire to be with Him where all things are fine

there is such celebration that follows Earth's resignation

Delicious treats better than sweets as her body sleeps.

She is younger than us now in her land up there

smiles and laughter that cannot compare.

Not an etch of care can be found on her beautiful face.

They were absent as she skipped away from us

and reflected His Grace.

Her steps were always dainty, she loved to dance

she was always swift to those who needed her

almost from birth -

A caring word, a listening ear

she always had hope and a word of good cheer.

We will never forget you Mum of ours

you have run your race now and we are proud

proud of your fortitude and courage to live

surely this life is not lost through a sieve.

For she leaves so many blessings with us

the one who did not want us to fuss.

But we lavished our love on her

it was much deserved

so many priceless things from you

we have learned.

Mum, you were an unassuming everyday woman

the best I know.

"Don't you fret now, my loved-ones

and those I held dear

for I'm now with Jesus

be of good cheer"
